Truth is that most people are quitters.. if steemit were easy then everyone would be a whale.. the truth is whales put in their time as minnows too! Now they have grown and get to reap the rewards of that, its how life works.. people come to steemit expecting to get rich fast, but thats not how it works, not in life and not on steemit. Thats actually the best part tho, anyone can become a whale if u just dedicate urself to it! But it takes time and effort! So dont give up ;)
